Example: Windrush 41, ‘Kingfisher House’ – Lakeside Holiday Home in the Cotswold Lakes
Objective: Create and produce a set of short property videos ‘showthroughs’ to bring the property to life for promotional purposes.
Holiday Home Property Showthroughs
One of the criticisms I have when looking to choose a holiday home to go to is that I cannot get a feel of how the property is actually laid out or what is immadiately around it. Despite some great property photographs it does not tgell the whole story. Where is the cottage in relation to the lake, the countryside or is close to a main road. How is it laid out? How are the rooms connected? Is the bathroom upstairs or downstairs? Make it easy to show potential guests what you have with a short video!
Bring Your Holiday Home to Life with Video
Objective:
To produce a series of short, engaging property video showreels that give potential guests a true sense of the holiday home layout, surroundings, and experience—something that still images alone often fail to deliver.
Scope & Approach
- Filmed walkthrough-style videos capturing the flow and layout of each property, including interior room transitions and key features.
- Used aerial drone footage to show the cottage in context—its proximity to lakes, countryside, or roads—to help guests understand its exact setting.
- Edited short-form videos optimised for use across websites, social media, and booking platforms.
The Problem We Solved
When browsing for a holiday home, guests often struggle to get a real feel for the space. Common questions include:
- How is the property laid out?
- What’s the relationship between the indoor and outdoor spaces?
- Is the cottage secluded or near a main road?
- Are the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs or downstairs?
Solution & Outcome
Our showreel-style videos answer these questions visually—instantly building trust, improving engagement, and helping guests imagine their stay. The result: a more confident booking decision and a competitive edge for property owners in a crowded market.
These videos act as powerful promotional tools, increasing visibility, reducing enquiries about layout, and driving more direct bookings.
